Fundraising protocols
Thank you for your interest in supporting PAWS-PATAS. We welcome individuals and groups who wish to raise funds on our behalf. To ensure transparency, consistency, and protection of our charity’s reputation and intellectual property, please follow the steps below.
If you’re planning a fundraising event, please get in touch with our Fundraising team using the button below.
Step 1: Approval
 All fundraising events must be approved in advance by the Fundraising team.
Please note: Use of the PAWS-PATAS name, logo, or any branded materials is considered part of our intellectual property, and may only be used with prior written permission from the Fundraising team. This ensures consistency in how our charity is represented to the public.
Step 2: Promotion
Once approved, your event will be:
- Added to the Forthcoming Events section of our website
- Shared on our Social media pages
You are welcome to promote your event independently, but all materials using our name or logo must be reviewed and approved by the Fundraising team in advance.
Step 3: Handling funds
All funds raised must be submitted within 10 days of the event, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Fundraising Team.
Submission Methods:
- Â In-Person: Hand funds directly to a member of the Fundraising Team, Secretary, or Treasurer.
Bank Transfer:
For events held online or outside the local area, funds must be transferred via bank transfer.
Please clearly state the event name in the payment reference to ensure accurate tracking.
Step 4: Online Fundraising via GoFundMe
 If you are hosting an online fundraising campaign through GoFundMe or a similar platform, please follow these steps:
- Notify us immediately when the event goes live, so we can post it on our website and share it across all our social media channels.
- Ensure the event page clearly links to PAWS-PATAS and highlights our charity’s mission and goals.
- Once your event or campaign has concluded or been closed, notify the Fundraising team immediately so we can remove the event from our homepage and social media channels.
- After your campaign is complete, send us a story and photos so we can feature your experience on our blog and share it with our community.
Step 5:Receipts
A receipt will be provided for all funds received:
- Paper receipts for in-person handovers.
- Electronic receipts for bank transfers.
Step 6: Acknowledgement
We want to celebrate your support! The Fundraising team will ensure you are publicly thanked via our Social media pages.
